Valley Telephone Co. isn’t from smoke from any nearby fires.Of course I mean the closure of the Simpson mills has made a number of people feel that their own personal world has sort of fallen in on them. Guess I’m not up to form—being a “worrier” I should be more upset than I am; perhaps that will come later. Think the weather has something to do with it. I can get much more depressed about things on a dreary winter day. However, the shut-down has been a blow to both young and old. Young peo ple nowadays are usually up to their necks buying homes, cars—and sometimes their babies aren’t always paid for either! Older people nearing retirement age find that a sudden curtailment of income drastically changes their plans, both present and fu ture. All we can do is hope the picture changes quickly and that the mills open soon un der the same or different management (as the many “rumors” go.) One thing we all should be grateful for is the wonderful summer we are having on the heels of an open winter. We will have to be just a little more careful about fires, though. There is an abundance of dry grass around and all it takes is one little cigarette stub to get a big blaze going. We have personally had more enjoyment out of our “little bit of North Fork” this summer than in many other years when it was on the cool side. We were up there last Thursday evening with Don and Alta, their son, Donovan, and his two boys plus our daughters’ dog, Rusty. We all had a lot of fun floating down the river on rubber rafts. There is something about that water that really makes a dip feel good. There doesn’t seem to be any shortage o f money among the teen-agers today. We were in Salem one day last week—and the town was simply over-run with young people buying clothes, etc. The nice part of it is that a great many of them—in fact most—have earned the money themselves. If this warm front keeps up until school starts—the kids will be screaming for air-conditioning — maybe they have it now In some places along with carpeting and all the other frills. With some of the newer schools furnished in such a plush manner it must be hard for the poorer kids to go home. I’m afraid that school boards and staff members do a little “politicking” and maneuvering these days— like so many people. In dis tricts where budgets failed being “deprived” of so many so-called extras. I doubt very much if the cuts are really necessary because in another news item one may read that the funds a school is to re ceive is more than anticipat ed. It’s really quite amazing the way things are operated nowadays—we cry about tax es but still we demand so much. Like most things— they are going to have to be paid for one way or another. So let’s don’t blame every thing on the government— because we are the govern ment—and people today de mand the most and best of everything—but are not al ways willing to pay for it. Getting back to my origin al subject (that’s why I call this Ramblings) the high costs really hit the average person pretty hard when they are unemployed even for a short time. But in every newspaper, on the air and in TV newscasts the trend for wages and costs of goods is spiraling higher and higher —we cry about the welfare state—well if the good Lord doesn’t take care of us—at the rate we are going—some one will have to, after our own resources and initiative have been entirely spent. I still think most people want to be independent if at all possible. Speaking of the strain of modern life—Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, pastor of New York’s Marble Collegiate Church told this one: “We’ve become so keyed up and ner vous that it is impossible to put people to sleep with a sermon. I haven’t seen any one sleeping in church in years—and I will tell you that’s a bad situation.” Community Calendar of Events Wednesday, August 9— City Council meeting City hall 8 p. m. at Thursday, August 10— IOOF lodge at hall at 8 p. m.
